I had an incident where an older couple were stopped at a green light, angled down hill, in a snowstorm, with parking brake instead of foot pedal, in a borrowed vehicle.
When they asked me for insurance I just dragged it out and made friendly conversation(eventually giving the insurance slip). They got increasingly irate and panicked. Maybe because it was only a glancing blow and wouldn’t exceed even a slim deductible.
Anyway, I should probably get a dash cam…
- Noumenon72 1y agoThis story doesn't make sense: it's not clear who hit who, whether you were scamming them by not giving insurance, or how a dash cam would help when no real damage was done.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 1y agoThe older couple hit him, with their motionless, parking-braked vehicle. Possibly by using dark matter/energy to cause space-time expansion that pushed his car into theirs.
- steve_adams_86 1y agoSnow storm detail indicates the road may have been slippery. They might have locked their wheels on an icy hill and skated into the other car. It happens a lot where I live.

- jstanley 1y agoI don't really understand what you're trying to say here. Did you try to avoid giving them your insurance details? Why? What would the dash cam have shown?
- InitialLastName 1y agoIf you rear-end someone, it's pretty much always your fault. People are allowed to be stopped in the road for any number of reasons, and it's your responsibility as a car operator to be aware of your surroundings and able to stop your own car without hitting anything.
